Traveling for work sounds like a lot of fun and the first few business trips you take are exciting. But eventually that feeling wears off and all your customers want is a comfy place to rest their head while they're on a red eye from New York to Los Angeles. While you can't help reduce the frequency they travel, you can make traveling more enjoyable with a customized promotional item from your company!
A travel themed item that is checkpoint-friendly and travel-sized is a great way to lessen the stress your recipient will feel while flying. Promotional luggage tags are great giveaways because everyone hates waiting at the baggage carousel to spot their black, medium suitcase that looks exactly like the twenty other black, medium suitcases going around and around. With a spiffy luggage tag in a bright color, they'll know which bag is theirs so they can get the heck outta there!
Customized ear plugs are another awesome suggestion because even though you're on a plane with people, that doesn't mean you want to talk to them. No shame in it, chances are the person next to you is dreading making small talk as well. Give your customers some ear plugs and they can take a refreshing nap or focus on work before they land.
Okay, okay we've covered that we have imprinted items for air travel, but what about when you travel by car? Do we have anything available to order with your company's name on it? A custom charger for your customer's smartphone or tablet will become a favorite item of theirs to use. Whether checking the GPS app drained their iPhone's battery or they want a nice quiet ride while the kiddos in the back seat watch a movie with headphones on, our imprinted chargers will help them out!
No matter the type of travel item you're looking to giveaway at the tradeshow or convention you're heading to, we've got something just right. Our sales team members will guide you in the right direction, they haven't steered anyone wrong yet! Call us up or send us an email and we'll get you taken care of straight away.

The Obama administration's plan to rein in politicking by some tax-exempt organizations drew a challenge from an influential House Republican.
Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R., Mich.) introduced legislation on Tuesday that would put a one-year hold on the Obama administration's proposed regulations.
In a statement, Mr. Camp said it's premature for the administration to try to tighten the rules on tax-exempt organizations that engage in political activity, particularly when congressional investigations are still looking into allegations the Internal Revenue Service mistreated some grassroots conservative groups under the existing rules.
An inspector general's report last year criticized the IRS for singling out tea-party and other conservative groups for special scrutiny as they sought tax-exempt status.
"Our investigation is still ongoing and the committee has not received all the requested documents," Mr. Camp said. "It is premature to publish new rules before getting all of the facts."
Mr. Camp also said the administration's rules are unfair to conservatives, in part because they don't affect unions.
Treasury and IRS officials said at the time they announced the proposed regulations that they would "carefully and comprehensively" consider all comments before issuing final rules, a Treasury official noted.
At issue is the growing use of tax-exempt entities for campaign activity, including TV advertising.
Under longstanding tax rules, groups that organize as tax-exempt "social welfare" entities can engage in some campaign activity, as long as it is not their primary purpose. IRS rules often have not been specific on what constitutes campaign activity, however. That has helped fuel an increase in politicking, especially by some large nonprofit groups.
The proposal in November by Treasury and the IRS would tighten the rules significantly, in part by classifying more of the groups' ancillary activities as political. Those include get-out-the-vote efforts and voter guides.
By reducing the amount the groups can classify as nonpolitical, the proposed regulations would sharply limit the amount of campaign activity, particularly by larger groups, supporters of the idea say.

Most Unimproved Teams (NL)
1. Marlins
2. Astros
3. Reds
So what's the Marlins' new marketing slogan? "Come watch us pack for Vegas?" ... "Only four more days until Dontrelle pitches again?" ... "Anybody who can correctly tell Renyel Pinto from Yusmeiro Petit wins free season tickets?" ... "Where in the world is Jeff Conine?" ... It's a sad little tale, all right, for a team that just wants a place to play where the humidity is below 180 percent and a few of those luxury-box dollars they rake in don't have to be deposited in the local NFL owner's checking account. As fire sales go, by the way, the Marlins held themselves a very respectable closeout auction, if you're only measuring quality and quantity of prospects. But as baseball teams go, this one won't be real picturesque. Just for reference sake, the record for the biggest one-season plummet in wins (non-strike-year division) is 56, by Connie "Everything Must Go" Mack's equally clearance-minded 1914-15 Philadelphia A's. The Marlins would need to lose 136 games to break that one. Even this team can't pull that off.

Joe Arpaio Rolls Out Female Chain Gang DUI Squad -- Just in Time For MLB All-Star Game
www.ticketbid.com |
/Joe show |
Sheriff Joe Arpaio's publicity stunt of choice for All-Star weekend: a female chain gang that probably will make a stop at Chase Field to pick up garbage as the national sporting press tries to cover a baseball game.
We spoke briefly to MCSO Lieutenant Justin Griffin this afternoon. As the former head of Arpaio's chain-gang unit, he says he can't reveal where the chain gang will go because if people knew, they could stash contraband in the area for inmates to retrieve. He says that sort of thing's been a problem in the past.
His boss, however, decided to spill the beans.
Also expected at Chase Field for the July 12 game are protesters of Arizona's controversial immigration law, Senate Bill 1070.
"If [protesters] can be there, why can't my female chain gang be there as a public service," Arpaio says.
Arpaio's female chain gang has been picking up trash across the Valley since 1996. It's the only female chain gang in the country, which makes it a sideshow that's perfect for sportscasters looking to bring some local flavor (not necessarily good flavor) to a national audience.
In other words, don't be shocked if you're watching the All-Star game on TV and you see some B-roll of Arpaio's gals picking up garbage outside of Chase Field -- which, of course, is the sheriff's goal.
This particular gang is comprised of women convicted of DUI. They will be decked out in the standard striped uniforms. However, they will also be wearing pink T-shirts with messages about DUI.
The sheriff will be updating his Twitter page with daily DUI chain-gang sightings. The first update was this morning. Check it out here.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU offensive coordinator Mike Norvell: Proud of how the offense stepped up in fourth quarter
Arizona State caught a break in Saturday's 32-30 victory over Wisconsin, but lost amidst the controversial finish was the Sun Devils' ability to move the football over the final 15 minutes of play against the reigning Big Ten champions.
Through the first three quarters of play, ASU's offense looked like a shell of the unit that dismantled Sacramento State to the tune of 55-0 nine days earlier.
There were several badly thrown balls -- including an early third quarter interception in Wisconsin territory -- by quarterback Taylor Kelly, a handful of dropped passes by the receiving corps and a lack of production (2.9 yards per carry) outside of Marion Grice in the backfield.
Simply put, it was ugly offensive football.
"I think we looked back at the game when we were done, and we probably had four balls that were overthrown, four balls that weren't on point in the first half, first three quarters," ASU offensive coordinator Mike Norvell told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Monday. "I think we had six or seven drops in the game. Any time you miss 10-plus opportunities, that is going to hurt you a little bit."
It definitely hurt, as the Sun Devils found themselves trailing 21-19 into the fourth quarter, but Kelly and Co. found their groove when it mattered most.
In the fourth quarter, the junior quarterback led two touchdown drives and completed seven of his 12 passes for 127 yards.
The recipient on four of those seven completions was sophomore wideout Jaelen Strong, who led the way with 104 yards receiving in just his second collegiate game.
"Taylor is a tremendous competitor, and our receivers stepped up big time at the end of the game," said Norvell. "That's what you want to see in your football team. When it gets down to crunch time at the end of the game, they stepped up to make plays to win it."
While the journey was bumpy to say the least, Norvell admitted he wasn't all that surprised about the end result.
"I talk to our guys all the time that we have to win the fourth quarter," said Norvell. "That's something I know being with these guys over the last year-and-a-half, and I told them yesterday, I know how we're going to play in the fourth. That's when those guys shine, and I was very proud of how they did that."
In the victory, ASU became just the third opponent to amass over 400 yards against Wisconsin's defense since the start of the 2012 season.

i could see a hawkbill doing some serious damage if one were engaged in some hand to hand fighting ... especially so if one could keep a closed fist on the blade handle
Member: NRA GOA ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Est sularas oth mithas "either way, you were guilty by association, so you were smited...." JD
The Hawkbill and the Karambit are knives that, with an icepick knife fighting grip, are insane in their ability to cause damage. I have studied the Karambit for a couple of years now while looking for the ideal choice to add to my extensive collection. Perhaps I need a Hawkbill instead.
Or you could go full bore and get the Spyderco Civilian. It is on my wish list but the others you mentioned are definitely worth a look.
The absolute greatest single purpose knife ever.....
This monster comes with a label that states it has no utility purpose whatsoever, it's solely for flesh....
The Spyderco Civilian is serrated. I hate serrated. It's seldom designed for anything beyond cutting rope. Not so with this. You can literally shave with this monster. This luscious Queen rends flesh.
That's the kind of knife that'll leave a man's guts on the floor. I WANT ONE.

Share The enticing rainforest-clad Mentawai Islands, 100km off the west Sumatran coast, are home to an ethnic group who are struggling to retain their identity in the modern world. There are over forty islands in the chain, of which the four main ones are Pulaus Siberut, Sipora, North Pagi and South Pagi. Only Pulau Siberut, the largest, at 110km long by 50km wide, is accessible to tourists (overnight ferry from Padang); all visitors must be registered by the authorities. The islanders' traditional culture is based on communal dwelling in longhouses (uma) and subsistence agriculture, their religious beliefs centring on the importance of coexisting with the invisible spirits that inhabit the world. With the advent of Christian missionaries and the colonial administration in the early twentieth century, many of the islanders' religious practices were banned, but plenty of beliefs and rituals have survived and some villages have built new uma. However, the islanders are still under threat, not least from an Indonesian government seeking to integrate them into mainstream life. Organized tours of Mentawai are loudly marketed in Bukittinggi as a trip to see the "primitive" people and "stone-age" culture. Generally, Mentawai people welcome tourism as a way of validating and preserving their own culture, although they get little financial benefit from it. Be sure to read and obey guidelines about behaviour that are given to you, as the people have a complex system of taboo behaviour. Most tours centre on the southeast of the island, where you'll be able to watch and join in with people going about their everyday activities, such as farming, fishing and hunting. There are also jungle treks and the shaman ceremonies of Siberut are something of a draw for tourists, but many are actually staged for them. Climbing Gunung Merapi Read More

ACLU Sues for Recognition of Utah's Same-Sex Marriages
BY Sunnivie Brydum
January 21 2014 4:10 PM ET
The national American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Utah filed a lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of four same-sex couples whose marriages have not been recognized by the state of Utah, even though those unions were legal when they were performed.
An estimated 1,360 same-sex couples were married in Utah between December 20 — when a federal judge struck down the state's constitutional ban on performing or recognizing same-sex marriages — and January 6, when the U.S. Supreme Court put the same-sex weddings in Utah on hold pending the state's appeal.
Just two days after the Supreme Court granted a stay, Utah governor Gary Herbert's office announced that his administration, and by extension, the state, would not recognizes as valid the same-sex marriages performed during the 17 days they were legal. But last week Utah's Tax Commission announced that it would allow those legally married same-sex couples who wed in Utah or any other marriage equality state to file joint state tax returns.
The ACLU's suit in Utah state court aims to provide clarity for the families whose legal marriage status remains in limbo. Citing the due process clauses of the Utah and U.S. constitutions, attorneys for the ACLU contend that rights cannot be rescinded after they have been granted by a ceremony that's considered legal at the time it took place.
"These couples were legally married under Utah law and their unions must be treated the same as any other Utah marriage," said John Mejia, legal director of the ACLU of Utah, in a statement today. "Even our attorney general said that the marriages were entitled to full recognition by the state at the time they were performed. Regardless of what ultimately happens in the federal challenge to Utah's marriage ban, the marriages that already occurred are valid and must be recognized now."
The new lawsuit is entirely separate from the case that briefly brought marriage equality to Utah, currently pending before the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. The ACLU filed an amicus brief in that federal case, but stressed that today's filing has critical importance for thousands of families headed by LGBT Utahns.
"We acted as soon as we could to make sure our family could stay together in case, heaven forbid, something happens to one of us," said Matthew Barrazza, a lifelong Uthan who is the adoptive father of Jesse, the son he is raising with his husband Tony Milner. Milner currently is not recognized as their son's parent, and second-parent adoption proceedings have stalled because the state where the family lives won't recognize their marriage, according to the ACLU. "We just want the peace of mind of knowing that whatever happens, Jesse has security of knowing his other parent will take care of and provide for him. Now, because the state refuses to recognize our marriage, this peace of mind is again out of reach."

Thanks, been using the Pro One for 2 weeks and having trouble getting the right feel. I'm coming from 20 years with the Wilson PS 85/Tour 90 leaded to 13.5 oz. I always strung the Wilsons with Gosen OG 17 between 58 & 62 and haven't played much for the last 4 years.
I'm getting older, I'm not Sampras, and even Sampras doesn't play with that thing anymore. Roman convinced me to try the Donnays and for the most part I'm liking it. I'm adjusting to the lighter weight, but played in a tourney last week and was amazed how much spin the younger guys were creating. First string jobs were with multi mains 55 and poly crosses 52. Multi breaks after about 3.5 hours - poly chews through it. With this set up felt just sort of meh - I know poly isn't going to have the crispness of the syn gut but I'm searching and I need access to some more spin to compete. I have to get both restrung, do you have a suggestion for full poly?
How about a brand at 50 lbs?
What about these super low tensions at 35?
Do you do stringing? If not I'll take them to RPNY.
